Appeal to identify man after unprovoked assaults in Kingsthorpe

Officers are appealing for help to identify a man they need to speak to in connection with two unprovoked assaults in Northampton.

At around 8pm on Thursday, July 27, a man was walking along the A508 Kingsthorpe Road, between the junctions with Kensington Close and Thornton Road, when an unknown man approached him and punched him twice to the face, causing facial fractures.

Shortly before this incident, another man reported he had been assaulted close to the Cock Hotel in a similar unprovoked attack.
